  I am considering upgrading to the Premium plan, but I have a couple of questions. If I put the Google Analytics coding on each of my pages, can I track Google Analytics this way?

  Also, is there a SEO plugin with Premium? Yoast?

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is no alternative when it comes to wordpress.COM hosted blogs. You either purchase the Business upgrade for $299 US per year or you don’t have access to Google Analytics. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/google-analytics-for-wordpress-com-business-sites/

  re: yoast SEO plugin
  You cannot upload and run the Yoast SEO plugin or any other blogger installed plugins on a site hosted by wordpress.COM. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

  I am considering upgrading to the Premium plan,

  You appear to be confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting. WordPress.com blogs have built-in plugins only. Read https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.
